    The biggest issue with this line of thinking is, how do you prove it’s CP without a victim. I suppose at a certain threshold it becomes obvious, but that can be a very blurry line (there was a famous case where a porn star had to be flown to a court case to prove the video wasn’t CP, but can’t find the link right now).

    So your left with a crime that was committed with no victim and no proof, which can be really easy to abuse.

    Edit: This is the case I was thinking of - https://nypost.com/2010/04/24/a-trial-star-is-porn/

      This sort of reminds myself on the discussion on “what is a women”. Is Siri a women? Many might say so, but t the same time Siri is not even human.

      The question on how old the person on a specific generated image might be and if it even depicts a person at all, can only be answered through society. There is no scientific or any logical answer for this.

      So this will always have grey areas and differing opinions and can be rulings in different cultures.

      In the end it is about discussions about ethics not logic.

          Well my point is that pretty much all of our laws are build around ethic values, which are developed within a society. There is no logical or scientific reason that would make killing other people bad, but we still should have strict rules about this.

          Laws are always built around soft things like “what is obscene”, “at what point is someone naked in public”, “How much alcohol can a drink have before it is a alcoholic beverage?”, “did the person die of natural causes, or was killed by some event years ago, that wasn’t properly treated.”

          Society decides what is acceptable and what isn’t and that changes through time and culture.

          Your argument is therefore not a good one, you have to make a case based on ethics.
